Condition Monitoring Star of the Week, November 24th-30th - Beaufort County, SC

 Our Condition Monitoring Star of the Week was posted on November 24th by observers with station number SC-BF-10 in Beaufort, SC.  This report is special because it does an awesome job depicting dryness and recovery in their community.  The observer paints a vivid picture of dry conditions including dust while mowing and low water levels. Then they talk about the abundant rainfall that occurred is a pretty short period of time and how it completely changed the landscape. Wow!  The story the observer tells through examples we can easily understand make this report stand out. Great job SC-BF-10!  We look forward to more reports like these!

Banner rainfall this weekend for much needed rain! Saturday the lawn was so dry, the lawnmower kicked up dust, the lagoon levels were way down, and everything was beginning to go dormant. In about a 36-hr. period we received 2.07" of nice soaking rain, exceeding the entire month of November rainfall. It was the first meaningful rain since October 21. This morning, it is very mild, the lawns are greener and the lagoons are up. A near 3 acre lagoon next to our house has risen to the top of the drain grate and is trickling slightly over the top. A great time to be thankful. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Next report in 2 weeks.
